May be interested in changing my brand to reflect the new direction I’d like to focus my energies, something to reflect that what I offer is design actualization rather than merely building another bike frame. Not to take the piss out of what a great frame “builder” does in perfecting the execution of a familiar form I sought out to test against the tried and true to make things that meet my own expectation, which as a bike rider that is willing to put all his faith into what is beneath him, is a pretty fucking high standard. I think I can apply that approach to myriad other design and fabrication challenges and want to branch out. How about Budd’s Brain Wave so I don’t have to mess with the logo too much.
Bikes are wonderful, and a great symbol of the kind of symbiosis of process, function, and form that ought to be the goal of all design. I am really exited lately about getting involved in the movement that is again gaining traction toward applying reason to the problems of providing base necessity in a way that is more harmonious with our natural (long arguments over weather being natural is a condition proven by the very existence of whatever reality you witness can ensue here) environment and that does not take as heavy an expenditure of moral capital as the currently prevailing means. Any direction that can be provided toward resources and people involved in forward thinking solutions would be immensely appreciated.
